newsobserver.com | Business: "Utility plans up to 4 nuclear reactors
Progress, based in Raleigh, wants to build reactors in Florida and the Carolinas, more than its rivals envision
By JOHN MURAWSKI, Staff Writer
Progress Energy said Tuesday that it will apply for licenses to build as many as four nuclear reactors, marking the nation's most ambitious nuclear construction program in two decades.
The Raleigh-based utility announced it would develop two nuclear sites, one in Florida and the other in the Carolinas. Each site could accommodate two reactors. Officials expect to pick the sites this year.
Company representatives made the surprise announcement during a public meeting with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Rockville, Md. Progress Energy had previously said it would pick just one site this year for a new nuclear plant, as have at least five other utilities, including Duke Power in Charlotte."
